Hello INGO,
Man INGO I am pumped! I have been looking for a new carry pistol now for about 6 months, and had my heart set on an M&P 45 Compact, until I went to Highsmith Guns on Saturday. Mark Highsmith, and my Dad are really good friends, and my Dad works at his shop. Anyway I was getting my Glock 17 resprayed in moly res, and was about to order the M&P when Mark's son Shane pulled an XD .45 Compact out of the safe and I fell in love. I had not even looked at this gun and once I put my hands on it, I was sold. In case you didnt know, the XD .45 Compact is a 4" barrel, with a chopped grip, it has a flush fitting magazine that holds 10 rounds, and then it has an extended magazine that makes a full grip and hold's 13 rounds. I was so impressed by the grip I bought it on the spot. The barrel length makes it real easy for me to line up the sights, and believe it or not, the flush fitting 10 round mag makes the grip a perfect fit in my hands. The 13 round mag is actually a little to long. In the end, the flush magazine does not print at all on my large frame, or should i say my fat a@#. And I am also very happy to own a .45 again.
